Wizards of a modern age cast spells of electric powerBut the corporate strings that make them danceLead up to an ivory towerThere sit the fates in solitude, far from the public eyeNo one ever sees them smile and nothing makes them cry

Welcome to the kingdom, the land of bought and soldA world of real-life fantasy where truths are seldom toldTry hard to remember all that glitters is not goldYou can pay the piper, but you cannot buy his soul

CHORUS:It's just a game, you're in it all the wayIt's just a game, don't let yourself slip awayIt's such a shame, I heard somebody sayIt's just a game, and all I can do...is play

What you do choose, now, what do you believe, nowWho are you gonna trust?All you dreams and fancy schemesJust crumble into dust

Calm and cool and computerized to calculate and collectWe wait and watch and wonderJust which puppet they'll select

Like the moth, too near the flame,Who learned his truth too lateWe're all too deep into the gameThat is the master of our fate

The poets and the pipers have got their motivesAnd you've got yours, no doubtAnd so the game continuesThat's what it's all about...
